< Mapisarema 2 >

1 Ndudzi dzinoitireiko bope? Uye vanhu vanofungireiko zvisina maturo?
Why do the nations rage, And the peoples meditate a vain thing?
2 Madzimambo enyika azvigadzirira uye vabati vanoungana pamwe chete kuti vazorwa naJehovha, uye kuti vazorwisa Muzodziwa Wake.
The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against Jehovah, and against his anointed, [saying],
3 Vanoti, “Ngatidamburei ngetani dzavo, tigorasa mabote avo.”
Let us break their bonds asunder, And cast away their cords from us.
4 Iye agere pachigaro choushe chokudenga anoseka; Ishe anovadadira.
He that sitteth in the heavens will laugh: The Lord will have them in derision.
5 Ipapo anovatuka mukutsamwa kwake uye anovavhundutsa muhasha dzake, achiti,
Then will he speak unto them in his wrath, And vex them in his sore displeasure:
6 “Ndakagadza Mambo wangu paZioni, gomo rangu dzvene.”
Yet I have set my king Upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 Ndichaparidza chirevo chaJehovha, ndichiti: Iye akati kwandiri, “Ndiwe Mwanakomana wangu; nhasi ndava Baba vako.
I will tell of the decree: Jehovah said unto me, Thou art my son; This day have I begotten thee.
8 Kumbira kwandiri, uye ndichaita kuti ndudzi dzive nhaka yako, migumo yenyika ive yako.
Ask of me, and I will give [thee] the nations for thine inheritance, And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Uchavatonga netsvimbo yesimbi; uchavaputsa kuita zvimedu zvimedu sehari.”
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
10 Naizvozvo, imi madzimambo, ngwarai; munyeverwe, imi vabati venyika.
Now therefore be wise, O ye kings: Be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11 Shumirai Jehovha nokutya, uye mufare nokudedera.
Serve Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
12 Tsvodai Mwanakomana, kuti arege kutsamwa mukazoparadzwa munzira yenyu, nokuti hasha dzake dzingakurumidza kumuka. Vakaropafadzwa vose vanovanda maari.
Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, For his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all they that take refuge in him.
